Living in North Idaho presents some rather unpredictable challenges, especially when it comes to the weather. With windstorms, power outages, broken pipes, ice dams, mold or fire, the cleanup and repairs can be overwhelming. Fortunately, North Idaho Flood and Fire based in Sagle has a top-notch, educated and certified crew with the expertise to assist in the cleanup, repair and full restoration of your home or business – and they are available at any hour of the day or night.
Owned by Sean Gavin, North Idaho Flood and Fire has established a superior reputation when it comes to not only clean up and restoration, but in the building industry as well. As the owner of Mountain View Construction, LLC, Gavin has become one of the premier custom home builders in the area. His experience is a great asset when it comes to restoring and protecting homes and businesses from flood, fire and other disasters.
Gavin moved to Sandpoint in 1999 to build his parents’ dream home. He liked the area so much that he decided to stay and has become an integral and influential member of the Sandpoint community. Gavin gives much back to his community as a member of the Panhandle Building Contractors Association, the Rotary Club of Ponderay and the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce. For several years he played an instrumental role in putting together the primary fundraiser for Sandpoint’s Community Cancer Services, “A Night to Remember,” a vital organization aiding cancer patients in the battle of their lives.
Gavin opened North Idaho Flood and Fire in 2011 and takes pride in providing outstanding, reliable customer service. Combined with years of experience and the highest quality equipment available to perform the highest standard of restoration from flood, fire, wind and mold, Gavin holds masters certification in all fields of restoration. With a crew on-call 24 hours a day, NIFF is ready for whatever may happen in the most unfavorable of times. The crews are educated and certified to provide the best of education.
There are many common problems that can arise including mold, fire and sewage in addition to normal water damage. Gavin stresses that it is important to begin the restoration process immediately. For instance, in the case of water damage, it can take a colony of mold as little as one to two days to replicate. And some forms of bacteria can begin to multiply in as little as 20 minutes. Mold can be damaging not only to one’s home, but to one’s health as well. Gavin shares that many homes in North Idaho, especially older homes, have mold issues of which homeowners are not aware.
Fire can be devastating in many respects, but NIFF is able to minimize damage and help prevent future health problems that can be a result of long-term exposure. The process begins by using powerful HEPA vacuums that capture all particles of dirt, soot and fire extinguisher residue. The next step is to remove waste products from your home. “Then we begin the restoration and handle all of your fire and smoke damaged possessions with respect and great care,” said Gavin. “The next step is to effectively remove smoke and fire odors from the home.”
Sewage overflow can cause tremendous damage and requires immediate professional attention. “The potential health hazards and contamination that can occur from just one toilet overflow is something that needs to be addressed immediately,” said Gavin.
Knowing you have someone to call under any of these circumstances can give assurance that there is indeed the Ghost Buster-like team at North Idaho Flood and Fire ready, willing and able to assist. Being available 24 hours a day, seven days a week means you will not have to wait in the event of an emergency.
